Product Description

The new Prophecy Collection features four distinct shapes that all share common features. In addition to the guitar style the model either is an EX (EMG active or the new EpiActive pickups), GX (Gibson USA pickups), or FX (original Floyd Rose Tremolo). Common features include highly figured quilt Maple tops, 24-fret SpeedTaper satin necks, jumbo frets, unique "blade" inlays, Epiphone new pattent-applied-for Straplocks, hand-stained colors and eye-catching Pearl knobs. Because they're all "Customs", they all have bound bodies and necks. The new Prophecy Collection takes advantage of all the design work and testing Epiphone has been doing over the past two to three years.

EM2 Custom FX
The EM2 FX is fitted with a set of Epiphone new EpiActive humbuckers. These are designed to provide razor sharp attack and endless sustain. Unlike most other active pickups on the market, EpiActive's can also be used in passive mode to provide a traditional output without the need for a battery. The neck is hard Maple and bolted to the body using Epiphone's recessed, All-Access design. Combined with the patented "swept-C"cutaway, access to all 24-frets on its Rosewood fingerboard is uninhibited. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

4.5 out of 5 (17 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "i own and play many guitars and im very picky about my guitars i buy. this is woth the price i payed and any guitarist who uses"
Sound: this ax sounds pretty good, a little better than i was expecting for the price, i run it thru a boss gt-8 and i play a proggressive old school metal style. i also play an expensive esp kh 602 Feature: the floyd rose litteraly stays in perfect tune even with heavy use. im talking very heavy use, dimebag style. the active pickups are decent but they seem to use batterys faster than my old jackson rhoads did, and you can hear a big change in your tone when they start to die. i would have given it a 10 if it had an emg passive at the bridge. but still very good. Ease of Use: this ax is very playable, it has a fast neck and very reachable 24th fret access. the neck seems a little small but that makes it very fast and a great guitar for a player with small hands or a begginer. Quality: i'll probably have this ax 20 yrs. from now. the finish on mine is flawless. looks are sharp and everybody that sees it loves the body shape. all my guitars are neck thru body but this one. i prefer neck thru but its a relief on my shoulder to play this because it's much lighter. everything seems to be well made on it and i love the strap locks. maybe i should have given it a 9 or 10 because of the price compared to my esp and jackson. Value: dollar for dollar you cant beat this guitar, a real floyd rose? active pickups? under $400? its a bargain Manufacturer Support: i give support a 10 because i never needed it. The Wow Factor: its fits in with my whole set-up. right along side of my $1000 esp and jackson rhoads. i use different tunings for each guitar. i was going to use it as a e flat backup but i decided it stayed tune so well i'll use it as my main ax for that tuning. Overall: i would certainly buy it again if i had to. i like having a real floyd rose the most. my high dollar other guitars have a liscenced floyd rose, but they work well also. im not crazy about active pickups, having a fresh battery all the time can be a drag. mabey its just me but i prefer passive pickups. particulary the emg's in my esp.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Fiendish little axe that will make your wallet the hero."
Sound: I thought I was taking a chance by buying this. I have owned more than a few Gibsons in my day, as well as Epiphones. I knew Epi was a safe bet. I am amazed by the sound. Nice, clear bright clean tones, and downright nasty on the gain side through my Peaveu Vypyr. Feature: Love the pickups, love the Floyd, the only complaint would be the bolt on neck. However,.at this price..one shouldn't complain. Ease of Use: Very nice neck, fast and feels good. Floyd stays in tune with heavy strings and drop tunings. Quality: I've seen better finishes on my guitfiddles, but I paid a heck of alot more than I did for this one. The finish on this one was flawless and was beautiful. The binding was not Gibson quality by no means, but still looks great. Value: Smokin' axe at a miniscule price in my opinion. Manufacturer Support: Never had to use it but am sure its top notch. The Wow Factor: Fit my budget, and I thought the active pickups would do well with the type of music I like to play. Overall: Don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon. Sounds good and lets me show off a.bit on the whammy.
